Kenny Perry fired a six-under-par 66 on Sunday to win the Buick Open by a stroke over Woody Austin and Bubba Watson.
It was the second win of the season for the 47-year-old, who also won the Memorial and is now making a march toward a berth on the US Ryder Cup team, which will take on Europe in September at Valhalla in Perry's home state of Kentucky.
Perry finished on a 19-under-par overall, while Austin and Watson were still on the course.
Watson missed a 12-foot birdie putt on 18 that would have forced a play-off, while 1995 winner Austin made a move with three straight birdies starting on 12 and then got to 20 under with a birdie at the 16th.
Nursing a one-stroke lead with two holes to play, Austin finished bogey-bogey and dropped into a tie for second with Watson at 18 under.
‘I had multiple wins in '03, '05 and '08 - my forties have been pretty good for me,’ Perry said.
Also the winner in 2001, Perry joins Tony Lima, Julius Boros, Vijay Singh and Tiger Woods as the only multiple winners of this event.
‘I've also been multiple winner at Colonial and Memorial. It's always nice to have your name associated with the greats of the game,’ added Perry. ‘It just lifts you up a little bit when you're associated with those kind of names, and that's a great feeling.’
